Bills sign former Rams DE Ian Seau, nephew of late HOF LB Junior Seau

On Monday, the Buffalo Bills continued adding depth to their roster ahead of the 2017 NFL draft as they announced the signing of defensive end Ian Seau. Seau is the nephew of the late Hall of Fame linebacker Junior Seau and the former undrafted free agent out of Nevada spent last year’s training camp and preseason with the Los Angeles Rams, where he was coached by Bills defensive line coach Mike Waufle.

Seau earned first-team All-Mountain West honors in 2015 after racking up 43 tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, four pass breakups and five forced fumbles. In college, he played under current Bills assistant defensive line coach Bill Teerlinck.

The 6-foot-3, 250-pound edge rusher doesn’t have elite athletic ability but he’s got a good burst off the ball and plays with solid strength.

He’ll need additional coaching if he hopes to contribute and earn a role on Buffalo’s 53-man roster, but he was a favorite of coach Waufle which became evident during segments on HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ last year.
